symsy Posted 27June, 2017 Report Share Posted 27June, 2017 Anyone actually own or used a reader or a particular piece of software out there ?? Possibly 993 , GT3 or Porsche specific?I am thinking of investing in some gear as I get tIred of the 1 day journey to go to a dealer for supposedly little issues on the cars.Only yesterday I have a slipping belt on the TT that now has 5 idiot lights up , its evident , that the car has nothing wrong , goes like a scalded cat , burps and farts like a normal child but I would like the peice of mind….With the GT3 was guilty of forgetting to put on the CTEK and had my second time of trying to get the bonnet open with a flat battery only to find that this in time its was caused some spurious central lock issue that meant I had to go hunt for the cable.. I will know this car… Any way after PASM failure and TC failure .. lights and and a $240 visit to the dealer I reckon I should have the tool...I think the charge is for the tech , to wash it and for them to look at it .. No parts replaced and no issues since.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D'Silva Posted 27June, 2017 Report Share Posted 27June, 2017 I have own 2 units; Durametric and T-OBD by Tore Bergville.Both work great. The Tore Unit is cheap and works on 964 and 993... https://www.bergvillfx.com/index.php/products/obd-diagnostics/t-obd-diagnostics-for-porsche-968-964-and-993.htmlThe Durametric works on just about everything.The enthusiast version is cheaper but is vin locked to 3 cars.. the professional version is unlimited and what I bought.
